Quick update on little g for those of you keeping score from home.
Earlier in the week we met with staff at the school district to go over his IEP. An IEP is a legal document that is used to make sure that the needs of little g are being identified and met. He received his progress/report card as well from pre school. He scored above average in every area that did not invlove physical stuff. In fact, all areas regarding acedemics have been removed from his IEP. Awesome news.
He has difficulty with things as writing, tracing, using a scissors and other physical stuff. However, three months ago he could not write letters or trace shapes or make a smiley face strictly due to physically being unable to control pen, marker, pencil crayon etc. Today he can write his name and write letters but it is labored and not as neat as others. Obviously he still has issues with other physical stuff like walking jumping etc.
Since his trauma at birth all involved have been concerned about 1)mental disabilities and 2)physical disabilities. It seems that item 1 is or has become a non issue. In fact, tonight we had orientation for kindergarten next fall.
A few years ago all involved would have had a hard time betting on him doing a fraction of what he has accomplished to date.
Good stuff.
